Comment: I took this drug given to me by the ER doctor for sciatica nerve pain in my back and leg it has been 5 days I feel less pain has helped, but medication has made me anxious and not sleepy. I guess all drugs give you some satisfaction with some side affect. I started doing yoga and this has made me feel even better for my pain. Today was my last day of treatment.

Comment: At first it worked terrific for the pain but made me stupid hungry. Got over that but as I lowered the dose, the pain is less but constant. Currently wreaking havoc with the digestive track. Horrific cramps and loose stool constantly. Living on immodium for now. Seeing the Dr Wednesday, hopefully he can give me something else.

Had digestive symptoms throughout my life, waxing and waning, until I accidentally reduced my gluten intake to almost zero by using a gluten-free powdered shake mix. After eating a wheat-flour muffin, I had such drastic symptoms I was given prednisone, which worked within an hour. Been gluten-free since. Not too hard, living in NY in 2014, and can find many gluten-free versions of baked goods and Hide Full Comment

Comment:Temporal Arteritis plus Polymyalgia later on. For over 5 years now, dose being lessened, then having to be put up again because of blood ESR reading. Now on 2mg per day. Am suffering from anger/depression. Have lost weight now, but biggest problem is severe pain in various parts of the body - legs and hips one day, then excruciating pain between spine and shoulder blade. Wish I had never had to take it. Suspect Temporal Arteritis not completely gone either. Told now that steroids can leave you with pain. Is this going to last forever?Hide Full Comment
